A web form, with one field labeled "Input" with minutes from a shape note singing that includes only page numbers, not the names of the tunes, and with a second field labeled "Output" that has the minutes including both the page numbers and names of the tunes.
Similar to the other example, but this one includes songs from two books: The Sacred Harp and An Eclectic Harmony
When keeping the minutes at local singings, i like to include the tune names... but i like to get the minutes done the same day, and it's late after the singing, and i'm tired. So i made a tool to automate it for me! minutes-tune-names.vercel.app #shapenotesinging

Shape note singing began as tunes handed down by settlers from the British Isles and quickly morphed into something unique to America. #shapenote #shapenotesinging #sacredharp

Singing four part harmonies very loud is the best medicine. #shapenotesinging
Even after a dark week filled with pain & stress, singing always lifts me up & makes me happy ♥️

A friend is moving back to the US this month. And we did a good bye home singing party for her. #shapenotesinging (and music in general) connects and heals and builds bridges ♥️

Saturday 6th September was the last time I will sing from the 1991 #sacredharp
I’ve sung from this book almost since it was published in the early 90’s. New 2025 edition launches next weekend.

I spent my weekend #ShapenoteSinging with some of my favorite people. Went to a #SacredHarp singing (Cooper Book) Saturday and this video is from the #ChristianHarmony singing today.
This is an O.A. Parris song called "Will You Meet Me?" (131 in the CH book.)

The outside of an old church from the 17th century. A stone inscription says 1628.
Two signs are attached to an old wooden door. Informing people about an upcoming singing.

another version of while shepherds ... if I ever sang, I rarely do, I'd love to try this, my dear friend Lou and I talked of the possibility (she was a singer) but sadly she died... #sacredharpsinging #shapenotesinging #christmascarols youtu.be/2snCKAs2buQ?...

Photo of a hand holding up an oblong book that is called The Valley Pocket Harmonist.
I have a new songbook. And it's a weird colour. Paprika? Salmon? Terracotta? Best thing about it: it contains songs from lots of friends and I can't wait to sing them. #shapenotesinging

Was really looking forward to #shapenotesinging tonight. Always lifts my spirits, always helps to give me some positive energy but my digestive system had other plans. Thanks. For nothing. *miserably climbs into bed with hot water bottle on my belly*
